I was just wondering how everyone was examined to see whether or not you have endo?
Because How can you have a Pap smear or vaginal exam if it's so unbearably painful for you ? I went to a gyno and they kept saying the only way to tell was through that kind of exam . Is that true ? Is there a way that they can do an ultrasound to find the lesions ? Can they put you to sleep during your vaginal exam ? Because it caused me so much pain to the point of almost passing out......
The only true way to diagnose your Endo is through a laparoscopy.
A blood test is being developed outside that US, that will hopefully bring a less invasive option to testing for Endo
Fingers crossed it comes soon- these laparoscopic surgery inst always the best option, and from what ive seen it seems to require someone really familiar with endo to recognize it in early stages

They found mine with laproscopy surgery. It was exploratory because they didn't know what was wrong. Then they found my uterus was eat up with it so I had to have a hysterectomy a week later.
Surgery is the only way to be 100% sure
As the other ladies answered you can only diagnose through laparoscopic surgery
